Chapter 436 - Stone Tablet

Chapter 436 - Stone Tablet

Li Huowang had lost his sense of pain, so he could afford to stare at the colossal vertical pupil in front of him without any hesitation. He hoisted his fleshly body onto his shoulders and rushed to Zhuge Yuan’s side. He carried Zhuge Yuan in the same manner and retreated backward. This place was too dangerous, and it was definitely not a place for ordinary people. He had to take Zhuge Yuan with him and leave!

Li Huowang was about to leave the battlefield when he came to an abrupt halt. He felt as if a mountain was boring down on his shoulders. Moreover, a mysterious intangible force had wrapped around him, pulling him back to the battlefield.

Writhing tentacles rushed out of his chest and wrapped around his legs. The tentacles moved desperately, dragging Li Huowang forward. As Li Huowang moved inch by inch, the maggots on him perished rapidly as if they were fighting something unseen. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

When most of the maggots perished, the mysterious intangible force vanished abruptly, allowing him to break free. Having recovered his freedom, Li Huowang was about to take Zhuge Yuan away when flame abruptly engulfed him, singeing his hair.

Li Huowang retreated rapidly and saw the Emperor of the Liang Kingdom, the Imperial Preceptor, and the members of the Surveillance Bureau. It seemed that all of them had gone all out with a variety of artifacts in hand.

Li Huowang even saw one of the Deputy Chiefs holding a square stone tablet while performing a ritual. Li Huowang was familiar with the stone tablet, as it was the same stone tablet that Dan Yangzi had used in his attempt to ascend to immortality.

It seemed that the Deputy Chief had obtained one as well.

So it's supposed to be held upside-down? Li Huowang muttered to himself, seemingly bewildered. Then, he shook his head vigorously and thought, this isn't the time to think about this!

Li Huowang looked up and saw a burning golden tree. He turned to Zhuge Yuan on his shoulder in astonishment and asked, “What’s going on? Where’s your Great Qi?”

They were supposed to be in the Great Qi, as Zhuge Yuan was on his shoulder.

However, the Great Qi had disappeared inexplicably. This was bad news for Li Huowang, as he suddenly found himself in the middle of a battlefield.

Zhuge Yuan woke up and rolled down Li Huowang’s shoulders. His expression was ugly as he looked at everything around him and roared, “Where are we?!”

“Lies? Hehe, do you really think we're lying? Take a guess: why do you think the four of us have come here today? You’ve been preparing for a long time, but we’ve been preparing for way longer than you," said the four Shai Zis in unison.

They crossed their legs again, and their overlapping voices echoed even louder as they chanted, “True void’s wonderful appearance, supreme mysterious mother. Where the golden light shines, the hidden brilliance of the sun and moon. When the treasured pestle rotates, the ghosts and gods lose color, showing their traces in the mortal world, guarding the saint’s chariot...”

The voices weren't loud, but they spread far and wide. The stone tablet in the hands of a deputy chief cracked open the moment the Emperor of the Great Liang heard the chanting.

"Hahaha! How was it?" A voice filled thick with extreme ridicule from the cracks of the stone tablet. "Was it good practice? Actually, it’s all fake! This is all for the sake of making fun of you, you fool!”

The voice had yet to finish echoing in the air when the stone tablet split apart, transforming into a chaotic hodgepodge of fragmented mahjong tiles.

“What?! How is this possible?!” The Deputy Chief exclaimed in disbelief while staring at the stone tablet in his hands. Before he could recover from the shock of being deceived, a dim purple light rushed out his brow and burrowed into Shai Zi’s number.

This was just the beginning...

The Sitting Oblivion Dao’s voice spread farther, reaching Cowheart Village.

The sleeping Gao Zhijian woke up and instantly went on high alert upon hearing strange voices in the room. He grabbed a sharp weapon and dashed into the side room. The stone tablet that Senior Li had given to him had cracked open.

Gao Zhijian could still remember that Senior Li had obtained the stone tablet from the Zephyr Temple, more specifically, from their master, Dan Yangzi.

“Haha! You really want to become immortal?! How dare you dream of becoming immortal when you can't recognize even a single character word on it! My condolences, but you've been fooled! You've been bamboozled!

"This cultivation method to immortality is fake! Pfft! Hahaha!"
